I don't feel arousal when I touch my vagina

I (20f) am a virgin. I have not exactly tried to masturbate, but I have put my finger in my vagina just to see if I can feel arousal. I find I don't.

I've got an anxiety disorder and as a result I've been on antidepressants since I was 14 (on venlafaxine right now). I don't know if its just my headspace but I am concerned that I don't seem to feel arousal. I've tried to find the 'g-spot', but I don't know if I just can't find it or I've found it and got nothing.

Is this normal? When I do have sex I want to actually feel arousal when I'm touched. Would it be different if it actually happened?

When You Believe - Hebrew lyrics

Hello - I am wanting to embroider lyrics from the song "When You Believe" from The Prince of Egypt. In particular I want to embroider the lyrics that the children sing in Hebrew.

Genius Lyrics list the lyrics as so:

Ashira ladonai; ki ga-oh ga-ah
Ashira ladonai; ki ga-oh ga-ah
Mi chamocha ba-elim adonai
Mi kamocha ne-edar bakodesh
Nachita b'chasd'cha am zu ga-alta
Nachita b'chasd'cha am zu ga-alta
Ashira, ashira, ashira

I wanted to check if these lyrics are correct? Would it be better if I embroider the lyrics in Hebrew script?

What do you do to cope with life's problems instead of going to therapy?

THIS QUESTION IS MEANT TO BE A JOKE, but here's why I'm asking:
Mum has separated from Dad after 20+ years and she just moved out today. In between the fighting over the past week, Dad took a chainsaw to a tree and cut off some branches. He's now chopping up firewood. I've recommended to him that he should go to therapy, he says 'No, don't need it.'

We all know the jokes about men not going to therapy, but what do you do to cope with life if not go to therapy?

How do I 'simply' enjoy my partner's presence?

My partner (21M) and I (20F) really love each other. We share the same values, love talking to each other, our relationship is really good.

But naturally, life is busy, and we have university degrees to finish. Something I struggle with is being with my partner while we each do our own thing. Like studying together - I feel uncomfortable sitting across from him and not talking to him or doing something with him. I really enjoy the connections, and just sitting across from each other, not talking, just focusing on our own thing, feels weird. It feels like we're ignoring each other? (Or perhaps more accurately, I feel ignored. Yes, I am in therapy.)

He's happy for us to do our own thing while in the same room, and I want to learn how to do that. How do I enjoy his company if we're not doing anything together? I want to live with him one day and I know that it is a skill to learn to be okay not doing anything together. Any advice? How do you do it?

Best place to buy a car?

Kia ora

I have a budget of $4000-5000 and I’m looking for a first car. I’m looking at trade me, FB marketplace, turners, 2cheapcars

I know that 2cheapcars is out of the price range rn, but would that be a safer place to buy a car in the long run if I save more money, or could I reasonably get away with somewhere else?

My parents are splitting and I'm losing motivation to be faithful to God.

My parents have had a hard marriage. I struggle to understand how two Christians, who literally read their bibles and pray every single day, can spend 26 years yelling at each other, accusing each other, and emotionally cheating on each other. I'm not sure if I want my parents to stay together. Splitting could be a God-given answer to their prayers or a bad move with consequences to come, I don't know

Mum will be moving out at some point this year, leaving me (f20) with my brother and Dad.

Honestly, I'm scared of being left with my brother and dad. My brother is unemployed and hasn't learned how to take care of himself (like how to cook, etc) and Dad has previously treated me like his therapist; complaining to me about Mum and everything that has upset him in his life. I don't want to be a mother to my brother or a wife to my dad. Dad has promised that won't happen and he won't treat me like that again, but I'm still worried.

I've done 4 years of therapy, and I'll be able to move out in May or June next year, but recently I've been neglecting to pray, or read my bible. I think if I pray more it will change things, but I can't seem to bring myself to talk to God. I think I'm losing faith in the practice? I believe that God is the Lord of kindness, patience, and peace; but how come my parents missed that memo despite their own commitments to God?

In terms of prayer, can I have prayer for my family life going forward, and for me to go back to God?

Hello, I've got so much paperwork to do and I can't focus. Can't remember the last time I was able to focus.

I used to love studying and working, but ever since 2020 lockdown my initiative to sit and do my work has tanked. This includes my love of hobbies - reading, writing, crafting - can't seem to focus on those either.

I've got diagnosed OCD-Anxiety and people suspect I've got autism or ADHD. I think my brain craves dopamine, as indicated by my tendencies to doomscroll or watch netflix. I turn off my phone and netflix and then I still can't focus because I feel so fidgety.

Anyone else here got strategies to help me focus on study or hobbies or anything?

Kia ora, I found this amongst a bunch random things in a box, and I've been told these are Banksia Seed Pods, native to Australia. Does anyone know if there's anywhere in CHCH (like a forest or nature reserve) where I can find more?
